From a 2007 Vancouver Sun article:
VANCOUVER - A Campbell River man has received $63,000 in damages for an "out-of-body experience" in which he said he saw God after being accidentally overdosed with the painkiller Ketamine while recovering from back surgery in Vancouver General Hospital.
Shouldn't he actually have paid the hospital extra for that experience? (I kid... kinda.)

Damages set at $63,000 in drug mishap (via Dose Nation)
